Due to budget cuts, I am not working tonight. I am going to check on my parents place before I go to check on the cats, so I will stop by the store to drop off the manager's keys.

Yesterday was my first infusion since I had the kidney problems. The nurse previously spent time both as an ER nurse and as a phlebotomist. Only needed 1 stick to get the needle in. It did wipe me out and it took everything I had to stay awake during the process. However, I was out early (for me) last night. A nap may be in my future today.

I really think they wanted me to be off tonight (I am already off tomorrow and Saturday) so they can fix the machine without me being there to sabotage it.

Thank you she will be spending 2 weeks with her sister afterwards as her house is better suited for my wife to get around. I will be doing a lot more driving going back and forth and also picking my son up from work.

iPhones really are an addiction everybody and I mean everybody myself included is on one, whatever happened to people talking to one another instead of staring at a little screen.

Hopeful that everything goes smoothly for your wife.

Did you bring a phone charger?

Although I have been busy at work doing other things I haven't printed a job all week.

I am in a dying industry unfortunately.

Thank you they have to clean up some complications in her esophagus and a herniated disc that she had been putting off. The only good thing is all our deductibles are met so there will be no out of pocket costs.

Rescheduled my jury duty for the second time to Feb 29th.

You can only reschedule twice.

Initial date was in late August and the second was today.

Yes I brought a phone charger but hopefully I won’t be here long enough to have to use it. Thanks about my wife, what’s funny is she asked people to pray for her and had tons of prayers, if I did that I might get 10 if I am lucky.

When I lived in New York I never got called in Mississippi I have been scheduled every year for the last 5. I only had to serve on one jury though.

Well Apple Watches may be a thing of the past in this country thanks to the Feds after this year. I can't wait for the Black Market to start up.

If you were a juror on my trial, I'd send some McDonalds your way so I could walk.

I've been called once and had no trials. My wife had to sit on a trial relating to a car accident.

She is an expert on accidents though, being married to you.

She's never been in the car with me or the oldest SD when an accident has occurred. She has had one major accident of her own (well before I met her) and of course she's famous for scrapping against yellow polls with the minivan we used to have.
